Tool Live Performance of Full Concert at Big Melee Festival, Hawaii

Venue: Kualoa Ranch Location: Kaneohe, Hawaii, United States Date: August 15, 1993

In August 1993, Tool performed at the Kualoa Ranch in Kaneohe, Hawaii, during what can be seen as a pivotal moment in their evolving career. This live recording comes shortly after the release of their second studio album, "Undertow," which had dropped in April of the same year. "Undertow" showcased a more polished sound compared to their debut, appealing to a broader audience and helping to establish their presence in the alternative metal scene. Interestingly, during this period, Tool was known for their immersive live shows, combining their complex music with striking visual effects. This performance not only captured the raw energy of their early days but also foreshadowed the artistic experimentation that would define their future work. With critical acclaim on the rise, the band was on the brink of becoming one of the most influential forces in rock music.
